It muddies the waters enough for some of them to get by with it until, and if, folks figure out the true paper trail of custody has serious holes in it.

If you're eligible for a Solo 401k, you'll pick up quite a few benefits compared to the IRA LLC: Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.The penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)

My first tenant to my first and only rental property is looking to move out and get out of his lease early for reasons having to do with the custody of his children and school districts.

It is part of the divorce agreement and custody that he makes half the payments.  

All of my properties are in my name, however I have taken on a partner for new endeavors and the best way we have found to show joint custody is through an LLC.

Look to bailee of personal property statutes and your responsibilities of having care, custody and control of personal property.

My issue, went through a custody battle with baby momma and The state, I won. 55k later I'm in debt (credit card) up to my eyeballs and I'm struggling.  

And, depending on the policy of another lender, that first lender may "assign" the package to another lender, so long as it doesn't get out of the control and custody of the lenders. 

I am married and one of our grandchildren is in our custody so that should cover it all.
